The only time Suzy Wolff has ever done anything remotely entertaining is when Stewart did some long rant about women drivers on live TV when she first signed for Williams. Press pack immediately went to get her reaction and she went "Yeh, but he's old isn't he?" and walked off.

When Susie Wolff first got into F1, Toto was just a mysterious investor in Williams, and she was quite outspoken about how poo poo the F1 feeder system is for women, how hard it is for girls at a karting level in the UK and Germany to progress and that it was the fault of sponsors and young drivers programs for picking second place boy drivers over the girl in first.

Then there was a really awkward joint interview after he had just joined Mercedes, which was supposed to be her talking about how brave he was after his bike accident, and instead of being fluffy and towing the line she gave a load of honest opinions on the race from a Williams point of view and took the piss out of Mercedes. Toto was clearly very very pissed off.... and that was the last time Susie Wolff gave her own real opinion on anything.

Although, saying that a gossip site came out with something mildly relevant. The stupid diamond earrings were a gift from Nicole and they would not come off. In order to "prove his love is forever" or some poo poo she made him weld them on at the back. Just before the last race he had them surgically removed.

And people have the nerve to claim Lewis doesn't effectively promote F1

When your driver takes a poo poo in the middle of the nightclub and tries to buy someone's baby to make a stew they typically fine him then try to bury the negative publicity. Suspending him for loving a dog in a synagogue would just completely harm the team in far more ways than just Lewis dicking about.

Now if he actually murdered someone there might be a suspension involved. Maybe.

Suspending Hamilton would also instantly validate all the 'Merc gave him the bad car/crew' weirdos which would be funny

They aren't going to actively hurt one driver's championship chances just a week after that crash where they couldn't shut up about the fact that they give both their drivers equal opportunity and let them race each other. This isn't Red Bull.

There seems to be a super injunction out surrounding Lewis so our press can't report on it and google has to remove results. Any Americans know what the gently caress he's done? All that can be found from any gossip rags is:

A mysterious incident involving Lewis Hamilton's attendance at red carpet events in Cannes last week could reportedly mean that the world champion sits out Monaco this weekend.


There were some photos in the mirror of him looking poo poo scared and legging it out of a club with a underwear model surrounded by his security this morning , but I went back to save them and the article is gone

Newspaper says Hamilton could miss Monaco

The next wild rumour is now firing in formula one, ahead of the championship's 'jewel in the crown' event in Monaco this weekend.

Corriere dello Sport, an Italian newspaper, reports that a mysterious incident involving Lewis Hamilton's attendance at red carpet events in Cannes last week could mean the world champion sits out Monaco this weekend.

The story could tie in with Pascal Wehrlein's last-minute test in the Mercedes last Wednesday in Barcelona.

"Yes, I would be ready," Wehrlein told Sky Italia after testing on Wednesday, when asked if he feels ready for a race seat at the silver works team.

The young German admitted the call-up took him by surprise, as he received the phone call at 8pm on Tuesday evening and only had his Manor-branded helmet with him.

Corriere dello Sport did not have any details of the apparent Cannes nightclub incident except to say that it might involve "stolen photographs".

Autosprint, an Italian specialist publication, said the incident reportedly happened at Cannes' Gotha Club.

The reports also said Mercedes officials were already not happy with Hamilton, who had been asked to test in Barcelona but refused.

F1 legend Alain Prost, meanwhile, played down the crash between Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in Barcelona, although some drew parallels with his own legendary run-ins with Ayrton Senna.

"These things happen in racing and you have to accept that," Prost told Germany's Auto Bild.

"Of course if it happened every weekend, that would no longer be acceptable."

and the largely similar

Wouldnt surprise me if Merc told him he better not show up at Cannes since he declined their request to test last week. Then he shows up at Cannes anyway and Merc is trying to make a power play by benching him for a race. At some point, the team's got to show him that he's their driver, and they run the show.

Either that or he can continue to party and come in P2 behind a loving scrub.

Super injunctions are really easy to spot, newspapers make hints that there is something they want to tell you but can't , catch all words like "mysterious" and random paparazzi photos with no explanations. Also Google new search says "Some results may have been removed under data protection law in Europe. Learn more" when it didn't the last time I googled the tit when he had acted like an arse. £15k will buy you a whole lot of privacy very quickly in the UK.
